T
he Motorola Xoom is a tablet computer — a new breed of computer
that resembles a laptop with a lopped-off keyboard, which you control
by poking the screen with your fingers. Your Xoom tablet is many things
rolled into one: a music player, movie viewer, e-book reader, web
browser, and e-mail system.
It’s quite intelligent, actually. It listens to your com-
mands and dutifully trots off to do your bidding — be
that bidding fetching the latest news or grabbing
your e-mail. What it won’t do, unfortunately, is extri-
cate itself from its box, set itself up, and tell you
whether anything’s missing.
That’s where this chapter comes in. It explains how
to remove your shiny new tablet and accessories
from the box, charge its battery, and peel away the
plastic packaging film. If you bought a memory card
to add more storage space, this chapter also explains
how to maneuver that tiny card into the even tinier spot
in your Xoom.
While you wait for your Xoom’s battery to charge, read how to pre-
pare your desktop computer to recognize your Xoom, making the first Xoom–
computer hookup much less awkward.
